I’ve been nominated by Erica Johansson who writes at Travel Blissful, to do a Tripbase blog tag for 3 travel secrets of mine – Thank You, Erica!
There are innumerble places of interest to visit when travelling, so in that sense, I would rather that each traveller unravels their own secret places of wonder, be it a state of art museum in a metropolitan state or enjoying a quiet dinner in the backstreets of Florence.
My travel recommendations in this post has to do with the practicalities of travelling in itself…
Secret 1

Drink plenty of water!

Long haul flights are not always the most comfortable if you’re not flying Business or First Class. What I’ve found most useful is to have my own bottled water with me, so that I have instant access to water, without having to call for it. I even tend to drink more than necessary when on long flights because of the dehydrating cabin air.

LOVE Love love your cat! Thanks Cheryl for the tag, I’ll have to rustle through whats left of my grey matter and dust off some of my long hidden secrets.
It’s a cute little bugger. It just said a very long goodbye to us here, before going out gallivanting for the evening

Cutest can be! I enjoyed this idea with your cat casting the travel secrets of yours. And I adore cats, so that was just lovely to see as well. Thanx.
useful tips and cute pics!
Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful advice. These are things that many travelers often overlook, so they’re clearly worth repeating – especially getting enough sleep every night.
And, I must say, your cat is adorable!
Is that your cat! What a cutie!!
Yes, I totally agree about the water, and don’t forget the antibacterial hand wipes in India..they are endlessly useful
Thanks for the link. Charming cat also!
Hej Anders,
I’m looking forward to your travels!
Trevlig helg,
Cheryl
hey .. cute cat, but love dogs…big ones ! Just came back from Genting .. guess the height (1000m) and the roller coaster ride of the Tour Bus and the ‘itchy backside’ 4-D motion simulator ride I took, cumulated into a bad bad Nausea .. practically like a pregnant woman since i came back friday night ! Motion sickness tablets do not work on me, i took ’sour kana’ all the way … guess that did not help either .. any other tips would be helpful …:-)
St. Bernards are for you then.
Sour kana works some for me, but best I could do for myself is really, to lay still and let my body work itself out. Worst case of motion sickness was when I was about 12, at Wet ‘n Wild, went down the twisted tube twice a minute for an hour. Was cross-eyed for 2 days thereafter. Lucky it was the weekend!
Cheryl
Thanks. Finally I get to write about current travels
